Speaking of Albums: “Frank Sinatra Sings For Only the Lonely”
Each place I go, only the lonely goSome little small cafeThe songs I know, only the lonely knowEach melody recalls a love that used to be. Look, for the purposes of this post, let’s just stipulate that there’s no way … Continue reading
Happy Birthday to the Maker!
Happy birthday to George Lucas! It’s no accident, or exaggeration, when I say that George Lucas is the biggest influence on my storytelling. Star Wars imprinted on me at a very young age, and it is still my guiding star, even … Continue reading

Something for Thursday
I’ve made it one of my many missions in life to sing the praises of the United States Marine Band, because they’re great, but let’s not forget the other armed services! The United States Army Band is also really good. Here … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday

Something for Thursday

Tone Poem Tuesday
The sky is beginning to show some streaks of light over in the East there, behind our mount’in. The morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go,–doesn’t it? -Stage Manager, Our Town (Act I) It seems … Continue reading
And now, some space art!
I saw this on the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Flickr stream. It’s a cool illustration of the formation of a planet. All that lightning and whatnot is, I must admit, somewhat inspirational as “sensawunda space opera” pictures go. Description … Continue reading
A 16 for Roger’s 16
Roger has been blogging for 16 years, so in honor of that, here is Chopin’s Prelude No. 16 in B-flat minor, opus 28, for solo piano. Give it a listen, it’s all of a minute long! Surely you can manage … Continue reading
